Membership

The Maryland Recycling Network is a community of county
coordinators, agencies, non-profit organizations, businesses, and recycling
activists who have two goals in mind:

Build a healthy environment for our citizens by working
with legislators, companies, agencies and our citizens to
facilitate every facet of recycling. We help all live the 3 R’s: “sustainable reduction, reuse and recycling
of materials otherwise destined for disposal.”

Build a vibrant recycling economy in Maryland that
facilitates business growth, makes recycling economically viable and protects
our national resources.

We are unique in the “green” movement in that we bring all
the players together: public agencies which facilitate recycling, vendors
(processors, composting systems, haulers) which power recycling, legislators
and regulators who make critical funding and legislative decisions, and
facility managers. We also invite citizens who want to assure Maryland has and
acts on a vibrant green vision to be MRN supporters.

We serve as a resource to provide education and information
to professionals in the field and the public. We accomplish this through a
combination of education programs, advocacy activities to affect public policy,
technical assistance, and the development of markets to purchase recycled
materials and manufacture products with recycled content.
